		order Order on Motion for Sanctions Thu 05/15 10:54 AM Text Order DENYING29 Plaintiff's Motion for Sanctions. The sanctions motion improperly attempts to re-litigate the merits of the case via a request for sanctions. The Motion fails to comply with Rule 11's safe-harbor provision, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(c)(2), and otherwise fails to demonstrate that sanctions are warranted under Rule 11, the Court's inherent authority, or any other basis. The parties are advised that motions for sanctions are themselves subject to Rule 11's requirements, and meritless motions may subject the filer to sanctions if, among other things, such motions are "presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation." Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(b). Entered by Judge Richard B. Farrer. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.) (cjlc) Related: [-]
